Rockies saved the Yankees at the Trade Deadline:
from MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic:
The Yankees’ original plan was to trade for Rockies shortstop Trevor Story, then move Gleyber Torres to second and DJ LeMahieu to first. But no team was willing to meet the Rockies’ price for Story, and first baseman Anthony Rizzo presented, in the words of one Yankees official, “a different way to skin the cat.
The addition of Rizzo not only helps balance the Yankees’ lineup with another left-handed hitter, but also upgrades their infield defense. He is the major-league leader in Outs Above Average at first base.
The addition of Gallo was the Yankees’ first move, but that only helped with so much. Another productive lefty bad was needed. Aaron Boone had to stop ping-ponging DJ LeMahieu all over the infield. Luke Voit’s injury troubles had to be addressed. And that’s exactly what happened with the acquisition of Rizzo.
And if the Yankees really want to, they can address the shortstop position in the offseason when they’ll have many more star-studded options to choose from. Perhaps even Story, available for money alone.

Figures that was Cashman's first option. Has no one noticed how bad Story has been this year, outside of Coors? |

Cash making the big moves. Maize, you're going to have to explain this to me because I don't get this at all. So you don't believe in Park, you want to sell high on him, there's a 40 man roster crunch next year, fine. But this was all you could get for him? Whoops.  |
